The Hour of Bewilderbeast
“At the Independent School for Emotionally Fragile Male Singer/Songwriters (mascot: the Fightin' Beatles) the headmasters award graduates tattered wool ski caps, uneven facial stubble, torn t-shirts and wristbands before nudging them into the real world. The degree doesn't get them very far, though, so the alumni typically find positions as dishwashers or heroin junkies. The pay is shit, but it's a”
Is There Nothing We Could Do ? (Music Inspired By the Motion Picture: The Fattest Man In Britain)
“The former Next Big Thing dusts off some of his long-dormant qualities for this appealing soundtrack record.”

One Plus One Is One
“After two full-length releases that failed to come at all close to the simple sweetness of his debut, 2000's Mercury Prize-winning The Hour of Bewilderbeast, Damon Gough again switches labels to Astralwerks for one last shot to prove that his early success wasn't just a fluke.”
